board a v nolan are carrying on a bit of under cover warfare against each other no sooner had the chairman suggested in this paper last week that a gun duel should be waged against the ob jectionable starlings that camp in dr freels grove on main street in thousands each night then the guns began to blaze and youngsters that night must have picked up a tub full of dead birds but that didnt make any appreciable hole in the ranks of the feathered creatures whatever what happened was that a few thousand pulled out after the on slaught and struck right up to the eastend where they took refuge in the trees in and around the homo of a v nolan and for several nights disturbed a new neighborhood a new lot of gunmen are looked for to blast the hordes from their new quarters whether or not those that retreat in face of gun fire will re turn to freels grove we do not know the battle started by the moh and his chairman is expected to spread and may develop into a shooting contest between the east and westend in any case these birds are a public nuisance they are not only noisy but the neighborhood wreaks with a filthy odor and house holds all along the street are com plaining miles an hour limit in the interest of conserving gasoline it is said to cost more to send a car along at 50 miles per hour than 40 miles of course to travel a hundred miles at 10 would require the engine to run a long time than if the trip were made at 50 miles still the 4 0 miles per hour limit is a good thing it provides a greater measure of safety even if the amount of gasoline saved is small only a fraction of an inch saved a city motorist from possible death at the unionville cnr crossing on saturday afternoon when the haiiburton flyer travelling north carried away the front bumper of a car

the queens york rangers bill was very insistent we understand that he be given plenty of room to carry around his copious person and as a result he finds that he has a pair of trousers with a 48 waistline while his slim figure only requires a mere 39 the 48 incldontly are the armys largest there should be as little delay as possible in trimmng up the trees in town and adjusting the lights so
